There are alot of things partaining to life Nigerians needs to be taught. Dialing for medical help is not the issue.
1. Do the so called medical team have the knowledge of cardio pulmonary resuscitation
2. Does the ambulance have enough equipment to save lives.
3. Can Nigerians in traffic allow an ambulance get through to save lives.
4. Will police on stop and search respect medical law by allowing ambulance continue to ER to save live.
These are little issues to be solved before telling Nigerians to dial for medical help. And dont forget, ambulance comes with fire truck too. Do we have trained fire men to always back up with ambulance whenever needed.
